Dynasties: The Holy Roman Empire (part5/5)

[wbarquez]

The coronation of Charlemagne by Pope Leo III created a dynamic dependency of the Church on the state for her political protection and of the state on the Church for its moral authority. The bad side of this was the corruption of many Church leaders who became enmeshed in politics and tranished the Church with the Crusades and the Inquisition, and led to the Protestant Reformation.

[Waterflux]

As for the religious angle of Charlemagne's 'coronation' by the pope, this is going to haunt each and every Holy Roman emperor. I guess fate works in funny ways. What it gives, it also takes away. Of course, the Church eventually implodes with the Protestant-Catholic wars several centuries down the line. What way way to sow the seeds of latent destruction and do so willingly?!? :D

[SAKUTO10000]

Damn louie must have screwed up badly

[resist360]

just proves the need for seperation of church and state, was clearly very influencial and at the time probably needed, is funny that his love for science and politics saw religion take a back seat noadays, carma

[NiceViking100]

Long Live the Glory of Charlemagne! He will never be forgotten.

[Bothorth]

Karl den Store!

[wbarquez]

This video should have been about Charles the Great and not the Holy Roman Empire

[djulala]

@wbarquez Karolus Magnus is the Holy Roman Empire my friend hes the strenght and the core of this vast Empire, without a Administrative strategic Genius as him the Holy Roman Empire would never be a fact!!

[killerbee2k]

@wbarquez Yeah I was expecting a documentary on the Habsburgs and the later Holy Roman Empire from 1300-1918. They should make a engineering an empire documentary about the holy roman empire.

Great video, thanks for uploading it

[roland19hun]

Thanks! Its much easier to learn from here than from the history book which tells one paragraph about this age and its hard to imagine this age with the very few information in my book.

[KnightCrawler2]

why dont they make a movie about charlegmagne?

[thebuttcheek]

@KnightCrawler2 they have one bro

[KnightCrawler2]

[HongKongKanto]

@KnightCrawler2

because hollywood is owned by jews

[pederman15]

@HongKongKanto what dont they own. i seen one vid , something on zionism. forget time period, about christians couldnt charge interest but the jews could or did. became loans sharks.

[mozo73]

@pederman15 Jews were forbidden to own land and were forbidden to be members of most of the guilds in the middle ages. Money lending was one of the few things that Jews were permitted to do, because usury was forbidden by the Church at that time. Ironically, because of our discrimination against the Jews, we Christians FORCED the Jews to become involved in Capital and finance. Have some perspective. Peace.

[LaszloPanaflex]

This was entirely about Charlemagne and not at all about the HRE. The Carolingian Empire was a predecessor, but doesn't begin for nearly 200 years after Charlemagne.  Typically sloppy History Channel. Like a history of the US that focuses entirely on Britain and ends in the year 1750.

[megatwingo]

Interesting. Thanks for uploading!

[13Filmrisse]

He's not Charlemagne in Germany but Charles the Great ;)

[890buddha]

so the origin of christianity is a payment for services rendered.

[fischkopp1234]

No, one part of the saxon tribe went to England after the collapse of the Roman Empire several centuries earlier (5th and 6th). The saxons in this documentary were the parts of the continental saxons who stayed in Germany after the collapse of the Roman Empire. They have since moved to the mid-east of Germany, where Saxony is located today. The old Saxony is now called Lower Saxony.

[13Filmrisse]

@fischkopp1234 no, what is called now Saxony is called Saxony only for dynastical reasons once valid. Not because Saxons moved there.

[fischkopp1234]

@13Filmrisse

Shit, you're right. They actually stayed in what today is Lower Saxony.

[sunflower3540]

Thank you for uploading this documentary.  :)

[TheAnnoyingSwede]

Awesome vids ;)

[insanic1]

What happened after Louis took over? Did the vikings continue to raid? Did the saxons revolt again? Did the mulism start to invade?

[philipOhayda]

yep the Viking went on raiding. the saxons moved to England and the Mulisms moved in to france.

[puncheex]

@insanic1: The Vikings went on raiding and settling (as in Normandy, and becoming the Rus in Russia) until at least 1050BCE. The Muslims (specifically the Moors) occupied parts of Spain all the way until 1492, when Ferdinand of Castile and Catherine of Aragon finally expelled them and united Spain. The things that the Carolingian dynasty did do is to establish feudalism as a social construct and Christianity through most of Europe.
